On the memory side, I actually don't know why the site is so large compared to its relatively small amount of content. Do you believe that it's large because of the images that you think are unnecessary or because of some technical defect?

I believe mc42 wants to know why your JavaScript files are so big. E.g. why are you using the full jQuery library AND the minified library? All your JavaScript should probably be minified.

Gotcha

It looks like you might have designed this website with Weebly. If so, Weebly serves several JavaScript files to the user, which combine to a rather large file size. I'm not sure there's much you can do about that, though, other than just not using Weebly.

Yes I did.Interesting I did not realize that would have an effect on size or load time.I am ui/ux designer so besides ios apps the only website I've ever stood up on my own is for some ruby on rails tutorial.

I'll try to switch off as soon as that is feasible
